Former Yemeni president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi managed to leave his official residence in Sanaa and fly to his hometown of Aden on Saturday, a Houthi official told Reuters.
Houthi militia had held Hadi at his residence under house arrest for several weeks; the United Nations reportedly assisted Hadi in his departure. The U.N. also helped negotiate a power-sharing deal between the Houthis and Yemen's other rival parties on Friday; the rival factions agreed to assist in creating a transitional governing council following the Houthi government takeover in January.
